Cholinergic receptors are found throughout the nervous system. Acetylcholine molecules bind themselves to the receptor molecules on the cells of the receptors. Cholinergenic receptors are sensitive to nicotine. Nicotine stimulates the part of the autonomic system that reacts to stress factors. Cholinergic receptors control certain responses that occur in the prostate.
cholinergic neurotransmission. that form of neurotransmission which depends on the production of acetylcholine at synapses. cholinergic receptors. receptor sites on effector organs or at nerve synapses that are stimulated by acetylcholine released by the nerve terminal. There are two types: muscarinic receptors, present primarily on autonomic effector cells, and nicotinic receptors, present primarily on autonomic ganglion cells and on the motor end plates of skeletal muscle.
